Gallardo Superleggera (B&W's)

[Goldeeno]

This was one of the cars at a trackday i recently attended at Rockingham. It was in the Gunmetal Grey, not really the best colour for photos. I found that it hides any detail in the flat paintwork, and very hard to get a decent exposure.
But got some interesting results in Black and White.

Hope this is ok for your Desktop, might need resizing.

I like the gradients you've added - like a 21st century vignette.

All 3 are fantastic
I'm sure they would all make a great wallpaper. #3 certainly does

I'm liking the PP too, what did you do to get the nice black blend at top/bottom of the shots?

With the gradient tool selected, set the gradient type to foreground->transparent, then set the foreground colour to black.

Now use the gradient tool to draw the fade onto the image - job done!

[stigmundfreud]

there is a gradient tool?!

I am assuming you have photoshop - if so - press and hold on the paintbucket tool - it will look like this:



then you can choose the transparency:



presto.

[stigmundfreud]

cheers! Never seen that before, the tool that is

Great shots Goldeeno

1st for me is best - not to under or over exposed.

Best part is that a 350D was used to take the shot - inspiration that those starting out in dslr photography don't need to spend loads in order to capture a good shot in my opinion.
